The N50, as a base model, is very common and cheap on eBay - it's certainly no collectible like the F and the EL are. I'm not after practicality - so the weight/bulk is no issue for me either.
I guess that I could consider the project a lens-mounting system for the webcam. I'm thinking that the ability to use a wide range of lenses on a system that I can either piggyback on the 12" LS200 or a dovetail plate on the EQ5 is worth the cost......
Maybe I'm crazy but I've already taken the back apart....
